pure reason as simply being a “white male Euro-Christian construction.” Actually that is a correct reading so far as it goes but is not complete. The Greeks who got into reason pretty deeply in at least one strand of their philosophizing predated white male Christian Europeans by a few centuries and their philosophy informed white European Male reason to a large extent. I guess they could be white male European pre-Christians
It is why white male Europeans developed Western Civilization and made it rich in a historically very short time. No other demographic has accomplished anything close to that.

Reason is a capability of the mind. Unfortunately some ethnicities have allowed their animal instincts to dominate their reason.

I'm trying to understand the author's conclusions. Is he saying that drawing rational conclusions is racist?

The silly member of the “Academented” under discussion, clearly never understood the relationship between ‘true north’ and ‘magnetic north’.
Like many of the “Academented”, he likely would have difficulty reading a map, much less being able to steer without a copy of Navigation For Dummies.

A philosophy and religion professor at Syracuse University gave an interview to The New York Times Thursday in which he critiqued the notion of pure reason as simply being a “white male Euro-Christian construction.”Yes it is.
So, for you blacks, you Latinos, you Islamists, y'all can go back to living in caves and chasing wildebeasts with clubs, because to use ANY of our reason, ANY of our technology, is a racist act on your part.

Yet another overpaid, nutty professor shares his astounding wisdom and insight. Only a select few are fortunate enough to physically attend his profound lectures.

The ability to reason has been a very successful skill indeed.
Instead of sharing it, is this guy trying to withhold it from the non-white races or trying to discourage its use?

This screed doesn’t even qualify as gobbledygook. It’s just pure crap.
The emperor (the Left) truly has no clothes today. One can say anything denigrating Western thought and religion and the zombie liberals drool with approval. The exact same reason why they tolerate Islam.

Early Christian philosophers called Jesus Christ, the Logos, logic, and reason of the universe.
In Greek philosophy, the logos remains an impersonal force, a lifeless and abstract philosophical concept that is a necessary postulate for the cause of order and purpose in the universe. In Hebrew thought, the Logos is personal. He indeed has the power of unity, coherence, and purpose, but the distinctive point is that the biblical Logos is a He, not an it.
The professor hates logic, reason, and truth. Therefore he hates Jesus Christ, the author of logic, reason, and truth. He despises his assigned Judeao/Euro-Christian heritage. I would not be surprised if he were an open, or closet, Sodomite.

So if “reason” is a white male construct, then the corollary is that illogic and incoherence are the property of other races and genders?
If that’s case, its a very great compliment he’s paying to white males, and quite a slur on everyone else.
